Trevor Lifeline- The only national 24/7 crisis intervention and suicide prevention lifeline for LGBTQ young people 866-488-7386

Learning the warning signs of suicide is a huge part of preventing a crisis.

Although emotional ups and downs are normal, sometimes a person who is suicidal gives certain signs or hints that something is wrong. Knowing these major warning signs can help you connect someone you care about to support if they need it - even if that person is yourself.

Using drugs or alcohol more than usualActing differently than usualGiving away valuable possessionsLosing interest in favorite things to doAdmiring people who have died by suicidePlanning for death by writing a will or letterEating or sleeping more or less than usualFeeling more sick, tired or achy than usual

Do you or someone you know...?

Not care about the futurePut yourself down - and think you deserve itPlan to say goodbye to important peopleHave a specific plan for suicide

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then you are not alone. We are here for you 24/7 on the Trevor Lifeline (866-488-7386) - that means all day and night, every weekend, each holiday, and beyond.

If you recognize these signs in someone you know, please encourage them to ask for help. If they need support, empower them to call the Trevor Lifeline at 866-488-7386 to talk with a trained volunteer counselor.
